Finally took the time to rip this and split it into tracks. Fantastic release; the A side is nothing short of stellar.

volume 3 incoming:

these are really good, def pumped about a third

Yeah these are legit.

A third preview track added:

Out!

hadn't heard these before.. enjoying this latest one quite a bit!

I enjoyed the first two looking forward to giving the 3rd ago

they usually send a few over to boomkat but that’s about it i think

Would be nice if the represses made it to the UK as well, postage from the US is just nuts at the moment. 

Yeah

cost of 2 records = 25 quid

shipping + tax = 35 quid

Thanks watmmasif for putting the royal we onto this hotness, been caning the f outta vols 1-3 for the last week+.  To be able to carve new facets upon dub/techno these days is commendable. Also appreciate artist's strict adherence to the 5 minute rule 

Top stuff indeed

It's not that hard to do with loops

Gave this a proper listen last night, prime 5 minute cuts.

Also surprised to note that Topdown Dialectic have releases going back to 2014 on Bandcamp.

I've been here regularly for 14 years at least, I know my shit and your reviews, don't know caze tho (bullied him out already no?), so maybe i'm not sufficiently self-reflective. Have nothing against your posts or anybody's for that matter, chill out my bass (alco-free, aint it a cool line bruh)

Not hating on 5 minute rule by Dialectic by the way, it's memorable, but it's really just super-basic fade ins and fade outs -- nothing to praise in itself, probably cut ups from live sessions. Not loops as in repeat the same, yet anti-structural more so than Maurizio or Chain Reaction minimal jams were. I bet he/they decided on it out of not bothering how to organize it
